On Saturday Simon sent me to a spa for my birthday! I'd never been to a spa before so I was very excited. When I showed up they made me put on this cute little terry cloth wrap around and lie down on a table. I got a wonderful facial that included my arms and upper chest. I was scrubbed, buffed, exfoliated, massaged and moisturized to glowing perfection. Then I was led next door where I got to jump neked under a sheet and warm blanket where I received an hour long massage in a darkened room by a delightful young lady named Inga. (However, I nearly screamed when Inga pushed her bony elbow into the flesh on the shoulder blade, but boy did that knot come undone!) Once I was all relaxed and jello-like I got to get dressed and jump up into the pedicure chair where my legs and feet were exfoliated and massaged then my toes were painted in OPI's "Confucius says Coral." And it was all free! (except for the $30 I spent for the Aveda tourmaline eye cream.) I decided I need to do this all the time. In fact I told Simon they had his credit card number on file and I'd be going back next month for the same package. He laughed nervously. Silly boy thinks I was joking.

Unemployment has finally taken it's toll on Simon. He's starting to create weird projects to keep himself busy. He was out in the backyard until 11:00 last night building the cats a little tree house in the walnut tree. Then he had to take the cats outside in the dark and teach them how to climb up in it. It's actually pretty cool. There's a carpeted step about four feet up which leads to a carpeted ramp which takes them to the platform which is about 7 feet off the ground.

My cats are famous! They're featured on the Oregon Humane Society website with their sucess story. We didn't win the photo contest - I know, I'm shocked too, but this is almost as cool. (scroll to the bottom of the page, they're the last story)

This morning at 5:45am I was staggering blearily out of bed and towards the bathroom when I saw Loki in the cat hammock looking all intense and rigid. I went over to investigate, thinking that it was a squirrel, another cat or a gaggle of starlings on the lawn. What do I see? That darn silly racoon, all wet after a nice morning swim in my pond. He's lying on his back CHEWING ON MY NICE NEW GARDEN HOSE. His little feet are kicking in the air and he's chewing and biting on the hose like it's a giant wad of gum. I go and wake up Simon who is still unemployed and has gone entirely nocturnal. He's been asleep for two hours so I shake his foot.
"Dude, you have to come and see this."
He looks out the window and decides to grab some kali sticks and chase the racoon off before he completely destroys my hose. He opens the back door and walks out. Without closing the door.
Simon hears my high pitched shriek as I jump off the steps after Loki who decides he's gonna get a piece of the racoon. Simon turns around and starts waving the sticks at Loki who's looking at him like, "Dude, what's your problem. I'm on your side!" While distracted, I dive and grab Loki by the scruff of his neck and Simon throws the sticks near (not at) the racoon to scare it off. Did I mention I'm in my underwear? My neighbors must think we're insane.

Hey folks. I'm back! I had a rip roaring busy week off of work and am just barely caught up on my desk. At least I'm not hyperventilating about regulatory deadlines anymore.
Quick recap of my fabulous week off (pictures to be posted later). I took Simon and his buddy Juan to the car rental place at the airport on Friday and they started on a 48 hour non stop road trip to San Jose California to pick up a free BMW motorcycle from his uncle. This motorcycle isn't just any motorcycle, it was previously owned by Steve Wozniak of Apple Computer fame. Therefore it is a magical motorcycle. Simon returned all bleary eyed at 3:00am Sunday morning. Much later Sunday morning parents came down from Washington and my brother up from lower Oregon and we went to the Chinese garden and took lots of pictures and bought pamphlets on the plants. I decided I want to be married at the Chinese Gardens, of course it would help if I got engaged first. Monday night I went to kung fu practice. We did sparring with the rules light touch to the body and 1 inch away from the head. Except for Kungfukitten. Sifu told me I had to hit all the boys in the head. Apparently I'm still having problems of pulling back my punches too soon. Lesson learned: I really need to get in close if I'm going to tag anyone in the head. Actually it's kind of fun to pair up with someone and say: "By the way, sifu said I get to hit you in the head." Tuesday we threw camping equipment in the car and rushed out to Oswald state park for an overnight camping trip. We had a nice night. We walked the beach, hung out with surfers and their dogs, drank white wine and played crazy eights until it was too dark to see the cards. The next morning our campsite was over run with wild bunnies! I snapped some pictures of them as I chased them around the camp ground. Too cute. Wednesday we rushed home so I could go to kung fu class. Sifu had me explain in details the condition of the surf as he could wait to go surfing on the 4th. Simon had a friend fly in from California (yeah, they should have just picked him up) and we played host and hostess until Saturday. Sunday I did nothing but watch trashy true crime on cable and relax. I got done nothing that I wanted to last week. Oh well. At least I wasn't at work.
